2010 Call to Artists
Ingenuity has always been about bringing together artists and urban landscapes. With the move to the bridge in 2010, possibilities are greatly expanded. From dark tunnels, to subterranean lakes, to expansive views of the city, we can’t stop thinking about the cool things that could happen in this space. But we want to hear from you….
Our official Call to Artist form is ready to fill our here: Link
The paper version is available here as a Microsoft Word Document: Link
The deadline is April 1, 2010. BUT BEFORE YOU SUBMIT ANYTHING…
Take some time to get to know the bridge. This is a completely unique space with several venues including:
- A stage placed in the middle of water collected under the east end of the bridge.
- Several small stages on either side of the bridge
- A tunnel extending into darkness
- Several small black box spaces
- Nearly a mile of bridge spanning a river
- A parking lot space that can be viewed from the bridge
We will be conducting artist walkthroughs monthly. All will take place at 1:30PM. Artists can meet James Levin at the Engineers Service Garage on the Superior Viaduct, across from St Malachai Church.
Tour Dates all at 1:30 PM:
- Friday Dec 18
- January 22
- Feb 19
- March 19
- April 16
Because this festival is in a more confined space, we will be seeking “site specific” and environmental work and encourage artists to attend one of the tours.
In terms of budgets, this year we’re looking to fund the bulk of projects for under $2,500. Having said that, we are looking one larger-scale installation/exhibit that can bring attention either to the bridge from afar, or something that can course through the entire structure. We would consider funding one larger scale exhibit at a higher level if it grabs out attention.

Hi Jim,
I’m interested in performing. I’m living in Nashville now but come home occasionally to do some shows. I’d like to perform with my full band (they are in Cleveland with the exception of my bassist who is also in Nashville) at this event. I’ve enjoyed my past performances at Ingenuity and would like to do it again.
Hope all is well and congrats on the new space. Sounds great.
Anne E.
Hello,
Do we have to RSVP if we are planning to come to a walk through “tour date”? If so…two of us are coming on Jan. 22nd.
I filled out a Call to Artists Form about a month ago and I haven’t received any response back… Please contact me and let me know what the next steps are.
Thank you for your time and help
